What Do You See?

There comes a time in our Christian walk where we must mature in the things of God. One area in particular is our faith. I believe we’ve seen and experienced numerous amounts of things to cause us not to be on the same level of faith from whence we began.

19) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead, James 2:19-20? We’ve gotten good at saying what we are and what we have, but have missed the mark in proving it to be so. Just because we say we have faith, doesn’t prove that we have it. James is urging us to stop saying what we have and start having it! Prove it!

Faith is nothing we can see, rather the evidence of what we desire before it manifests. Faith stretches us to go beyond the intellect and into the supernatural. Some of us want no part of it, but if you want to be pleasing to God you must operate in and by faith. Faith also is seeing what is not there in the natural but trusting God enough to know it shall be.

Let’s begin to look at things we’ve petitioned God and interceded on other’s behalf, through the eyesight and faith of Jesus. Let’s believe Him for the impossible. Exercise your faith today and show forth that faith without works IS dead!

Now, what do you see? Is it resurrected faith?

Your thoughts?
